I think you can relax on that front because after yesterday's episode there have only been good comments about the new character. I think the way CV's have introduced Ritvik and his family was very positive. No out of the world entry, no unrealistic perfection. I know its too early to make a judgement since he has been shown in only 1 episode. But sometimes we get an idea of whats coming ahead just by watching a teaser. I liked the CV's trying to show some light moments in the episodes so soon after breakup. Honestly i didn't expect the Devakshi office scene to be so light hearted. I was smiling the whole time when Sona was yelling at Dev, but all he could do was stare at her and not listen to a single word.
It proves that CV's are not going to carry on the emotional crying scenes for the next many episodes but will move ahead with the characters and actually continue to show all kinds of shades in life.
